Dear Rosemary, Kelly, Michael and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing away. He was a very kind, honest man who always wanted to do the right thing.
I remember one time we had to go to Nashville for a RISS meeting. Somehow Lisa G. and I started calling him “dad” because we found out how old he was. He gave us “the Bill” look so we kept the joking to a minimum 😊. May you Rest In Peace! You are in my prayers!
